Ekaterina June 13, 2017·Speaking Voice·Online

I had my doubts at first of taking a class online, because I am not an easy student, my body awareness is not very good, but Corbin is such a great teacher and he knows very well what he is doing, so I was pleasantly surprised with the results. He is patient, encouraging and to the point. Highly recommended.

Ekaterina May 24, 2017·Speaking Voice·Online

Happy with it, feel like I am learning a lot.

Dan M. May 2, 2017·Speaking Voice·In studio

Corbin was fantastic!! He really knows his stuff. I came to him with a few things to work on and he identified them without me telling him. He also picked up on several other items that we addressed. He had some great techniques to help me identify what I could do better and then had the suggestions for improvement. I am looking forward to working with Corbin again. Excellent experience.
